I'd wager that a 330 with Nick's kit would be more reliable than a 335i...

A newer twin turbo 3 L putting out 300bhp vs a single turbo 3L putting out over 400. This is not why I started this but I feel life the engine that was designed for the turbos all be more reliable. ....... Just me though

I agree- that'd be the normal, logical conclusion. However, the N54 has been far from reliable. From the turbos to the waste gate to the HPFPs.

did Nick tune your DME for the extra boost and new cams or are you just running a base stage 2 tune?

perhaps Nick or even PEI can answer, are there any potential dangers in running a base tune that was made for less boost and different cams or is it a small enough change that the car can safely adapt?

DME can Adv or Retard so much Timing and can Adj -/+ the whole fuel map on the ms45. The DME can only do so much. It is best not to drive it until Dyno Tune is done or Street Tune with Datalogging all the important parameters..
